Array VOL. IV. NO. 20. KELOWNA, BRITISH COLUMBIA, THURSDAY. APRIL II, 1912. $1.50 Per Annum. C.N.R. Approach City Council for Right-of-way May Require Street for Tracks - Council Want $77,000 for Various Purposes The council met Monday morning, the Mayor and Aid. Blackwood, Taylor, Copeland and Sutherland being present. After the reading of the minutes Mr. T. W. Stirling addressed the council on a matter which marks the first important step in the negotiations which are to make of Kelowna an important railway terminus. He had been requested, lie aaid, by Mr. Ashcroft, engineer of the Canadian Northern Railway, to approach the council in order to formally ascertain if the city would approve of the line entering the city, and also upon what kind of terms they could secure a right- of-way through the city to the lake shore. The company were anxious, said Mr. Stirling, to come in with the entire goodwill of the city, and | do nothing which would inflict hardship or injury on anyone. They expected to pay reasonable prices for their right of way. The The proposal at present was to run the tracks down Gaston Ave., on the north side of the city from Richter St., alongside the exhibition grounds, Mr. Ashcroft wished to know if the council were likely to raise any objection to the using of the street for the tracks. Th company would possibly purchase fifty feet on each side of the street which could be used as public thoroughfares alongside the line. It was pointed out that the taking of a strip fifty feet wide from the exhibition grounds would necessitate the moving of the stables, and possibly the exhibition building. This shifted the discussion for a time to the advisability of selling the exhibition grounds and greeting the new building in the Park. Mayor Jones asked if anything had been decided at the A. &t T. meeting Saturday last. Aid. Blackwood replied that the meeting had voted in favor of keeping the present grounds. Aid. Copeland said that the matter of the company requiring a portion of the grounds immediately had not been mentioned, or it would have put a different light on the discussion. Another meeting of the A. & T. Association was suggested by Aid. Taylor. The discussion gradually coming back again to the railway, Mr. Stirling stated that the station would probably be located on Ellis street. There would also be connection between the C. N. R. and the C. P. R. tracks so that cars could be loaded at the packing houses and placed upon either system. Mr. Stirling was assured that the company could count upon the fullest sympathy and help of the council in the locating of its track. Dr. Boyce accompanied Mr. Stirling and joined in the discussion. The matter of extending Water street along the lake shore, which was under consideration by the city, was mentioned. Dr. Boyce and Mr. Stirling were interested parties, and the mayor aaked if they would be likely to entertain any objections to the extension. Mr. Stirling said he had not gone into the matter at all, but when his property was subdivided it would of course be necessary to extend Water street. He could not, of course, undertake to define the exact location. Dr. Boyce replied in similar strain but aaid he was not prepared to settle the location of the street until the railway company had definitely fixed their plans., The correspondence was then taken up including an enquiry from the city clerk of Kamloops respecting the payment of mayors. The following accounts were referred to the finance committee for payment: Dr. Boyce, police magistrate's sal. - 125.00 Morrison-Thompson Co., supplies - 12.51 Burne ot Temple, city solicitor's sal. ��� ��� preparing special documents ....

Sutherland said he would like to see all proposed money bylaws put through at once. The Light and Water Committee, for instance were in need of a carload of new pipe, and had not the funds to purchase it. He advised the raising on debentures the sum of $5,000 for light and water extensions and $2,000 for a new boiler at the power house. Aid. Sutherland also suggested that as a grant to the hospital would be made this year, and the hospital was at present short of funds, an amount might be named at once and paid over to the secretary of the hospital. There was a kind of unwritten law in the cily that one mill of the taxes should be used each year for grants. He suggested that all over $1,000 of the amount produced by one mill should be given to the hospital. This might safely be estimated at $700. A resolution was passed making a grant of $7000 to the hospital. Aid. Sutherland said he wished to call attention to another matter, chiefly for the purpose of securing ts puplication in the press, and that was the visit to the city of the representative of a " Home Loan " company, with a scheme for taking the money out of the pockets of unsuspecting people. While the prospectus of this concern placed them within the law, that was the best that could be said for it. He wished to sound a note of warning to would-be investors. The same scheme has been tried elsewhere. A remark of Aid. Taylor's about the loose paper on the streets, brought up the matter of an incinerator which, said the mayor, should be provided as quickly as possible, Aid. Taylor asked if it were not possicle to put a stop to the sticking of bills on fences and trees to be blown off with the first gust of wind. Aid. Copeland asked for the council's opinion on the subject of borrowing money on debentures for street work, as he did not wish to go to the trouble of getting out an estimate if the council intended to turn it down. He would like to see at least some- thing done towards the grading of the streets and the laying out of boulevards in readiness (or tree planting. It was going to take a lifetime to achieve anything in this line if they were to depend entirely upon current revenue. Mayor Jones said the sum of money involved would be very large and it was a question whether sufficient could be raised. Aid. Sutherland suggested the taking first of the two main streets, Bernard Avenue and Pendozi St. It was finally left with Aid. Copeland to prepare an estimate of the sum required. A discussion also took place on the advisability of extending the area already served by the street sprinkler. The difficulty in the way was the fact that no rate could be levied against owners of vacant lots. It was decided, however, to take up the question of amending the by-law at a subsequent meeting. Mr. F. V. Gilmore, who is organizing a corps of Boy Scouts in the city, waited on the council to enlist their sympathy with the scheme. He suggested that the council appoint a committee of ten representative citizens to take charge of the scheme. Mr. Gilmore was assured of the council's hearty sympathy with the work, and the following committee was appointed by the mayor:��� Major Clarke, of the B.C. Horse, Messrs. J. F. Burne, G. S. McKenzie, F. M. Buckland, D. W. Sutherland, A. R. Lord, B.A., J. A. Macdonald, Hugh Jenkins, T. E. Cooper, and the Mayor himself. 1 lie meeting then adjourned. The council met agair. Wednesday morning, chiefly for the consideration of several new by-laws. An important matter, however, came up in the form ot a com munication from Mr. Rembler Paul, who made the generous offer (details of which an given in another column) of a free gift of a 160 acres on the lake shore for an Old Folk's Home, which he would build at his own expense and endow to the extent of $2,000 a year, provided the government would grant $1,000 a year, and the council undertake the management The council expressed it's appreciation of Mr. Paul's offer and passed the following resolution :��� lhat the city council receive with pleasure the generous and philanthropic offer of Mr. Rernbler Paul for an old peoples' home, consisting of 100 acres of land on Okanagan Lake, a building, and an endowment of $2,000 per annum. That the city will undertake the management of the institution and endeavour to secure assistance from the government. A resolution was passed ratifying an order given by the light and waler committee for a carload of wood pipe. Plans of sub-divisions of Block 27, Map 202, and the north halves of Blocks 19 and 20, D.L. 138, Map 202, were approved. A rough draft of the proposod sub-division of the Grand Pacific Land Co., of Winnipeg, was placed before the council, not, as Aid. Sutherland explained, for formal approval, but to see whether the council would be likely to raise any objection to it. The plan, however, was considered quite satisfactory. The following new by given a first reading :��� No 108 : To amend the Street- Watering By-law. No. 109: To raise $7,000 for ex tending the Light and Water department. No. 110: To raise $9,000 for the purchase of a site for the new cliool. 1 I : To raise $26,000 to- the erection of the new Organize Corps of Boy Scouts Popular Movement is Given Enthusiastic Send-off ���laws were No. wards hool. No. 112: To raise $35,000 to establish a sewerage system. No. 113: To expend the surplus money from the Implement Shed By-law for the construction of an incinerator. A resolution was passed that the city map be brought up to date. Aid. Copeland mentioned that Mr. "Clement had offered to build an incinerator for $235. The meeting then adjourned. Rutland News. From our own correspondent. A funny mistake occurred in Mr. Schell's advertisement for seed potatoes last week. The New York prize potatoes were said to have yielded two and a-quarter tons to the acre I Should have been twenty-one and a-quarter. The secretary of the school trustees has received word from the school department approving of the site for the new school chosen by the majority of the ratepayers of the Rutland district, and a trustee meeting has been called to complete arrangements for its purchase. The Eastertide was celebrated in Mount View Methodist Church last Sunday evening, when the Rev. Mr. Vance preached a sermon full of hope and inspiration, emphasizing the great truth embodied in the Resurrection, which is the one great lundamental basis of nearly all religions in the world. The pulpit was prettily decorated with flowers and plants. The choir, under Mr. Clark's leadership, together with the instrumental by Mrs. Gray contributed to the joy- ousness of this greatest of all church festivals. Good Friday proved an ideal day for a holiday, and after the long grind of winter the relaxation proved very acceptable, especially to those whose occupation keeps them indoors. The rake and the spade were busy in the gardens, and the air has been thick ever since with smoke from the rubbish piles. Keep them going for a while, its the kind of thing that makes the town look more inviting to strangers. The Kelowna high school baseball club went down to Peachland Saturday and beat the Peachland high school team by 9 runs to 7. Birth WILLIAMS.-On Saturday, April 6th, to Mr. and Mrs. Dayton Williams, a daughter���Marion Lucille. The proposal to organize a branch of the now almost worldwide boy scout movement, in Kelowna, which has been hanging fire for a considerable time took definite shape during the past week when Mr. V. H. Gilmore, until recently in charge of the Y.M.C.A. at Vernon, took matters in hand on the invitation of a number of interested people. Mr. Gilmore has had considerable experience in organization work in connection with the movement and is, moreover, thoroughly in love with the work and well calculated to inspire the boys with the high aims and ideals for which enrolment as a Boy Scout calls. Following Mr. Gilmore's exce" lent paper on " The Triangular Boy " before the Sunday-School convention last week, he was asked to address the boys themselves on the subject of the scout movement. A meeting of the older boys was accordingly held in the school Friday last when the first stages of organization were accomplished. There was no need to press the matter, the boys were only too eager to get to work and already some sixty candidates have handed in their names. At the meeting referred to Mr. Gilmore briefly explained the aims and objects of the Boy Scouts, which he said was open to boys of between twelve and eighteen years of age. It was an effort to get boys to appreciate the things around them, aud to train them in self-reliance, manhood and good citizenship. It was not a military movement, to foster a love for war, as had been charged against it; but the military virtues of discipline, obedience, neatness and order, were distinctly scout virtues. It was peace-scouting the boys engaged in, and just the things which boys loved���living as much as possible out of doors, camping, hiking and learning the secrets of the woods and fields. Mr. Gilmore read the Scout laws which we give below.and explained many points likely to be difficult. Six patrol leaders were elected by the boys, as follows: Dan McMillan Clarence Jones Albert Curts George Curts Bruce Fletcher William Duggan. Two scout masters will be necessary owing to the large number of boys anxious for enrolment. One of these it is understood will be Mr. L. V. Rogers, B.A., of the high school, who has consented 'o act, and is in many respects well suited to the position. Mr. Gilmore appeared before the city council Monday and explained what was being done in the movement and at his request the co'incil appointed the following committee to take charge of affairs :������ Major Clarke, of the B. C. Horse, Messrs. J. F. Burne, G. S. McKenzie, F. M. Buckland, D. W. Sutherland, A. R. Lord, B.A., J A. Macdonald, Hugh Jenkins, T. E. Cooper, and the. Mayor himself. As a send-off to the movement Mr. Gilmore is organizing an exhibition in the Opera House for next Thursday (the 18th) when the boys will go through the various drills and games in which they have been trained up to the present. There will also be an exhibition of first aid and some surprises are promised. What the Boy Scout Movement Means The Boy Scout Movement in its present form was started in England by General Sir Robert Baden- Powell. He was impressed with the fact that 46 per cent, of the boys of England were growing up without any knowledge of useful occupations, and wanted /to do something that would help the boy to become a useful citizen. He emphatically stated that his intention was not the making of soldiers. In his work, General Baden-Powell has touched boy life in all its interests and broadened a boy's outlook by the widest sort of activities. The movement ia touch- Generous Gift by Kelowna Resident Mr. Rembler Paul Donates Equivalent of $100,000 for Old Folk's Home Big Local Real Estate Deal Winnipeg Syndicate Plan Huge Development in Kelowna A pleasant surprise was in store for the council Wednesday morning when details were made known of a magnificent and generous offer from Mr. Rembler Paul, a i wealthy resident of Kelowna. of the free gift of a tract of land 160 acres in extent, on the lake shore, about a mile north of the city limits, for the purpose of a home for the aged and infirm of the valley. Mr. Paul further offered to erect the building and to endow it to the extent of $2,000 a year, the sole condition being lhat the government would assist in the upkeep to the extent of $1,000 per year. The city council of Kelowna is to have the management of the home. This splendid offer, which was gratefully accepted by the counci is equivalent to the gift of $100,000. The offer was contained in e letter to Mr. R. B. Kerr from Mr. Paul himself, who is at present in Arizona, with a request that it be placed before the city council. The letter, wliich was read at the meeting, speaks for itself:- Dear Mr. Kerr, You might put this to tlie council. 1 am willing to give 160 acres, all fenced .... and erect a building that wilt hold about fifteen or twenty people for a home fi the aged and infirm of the Valley���that ten miles on each side of the lake froi the head of tlie lake to the font. It will be for lliose unfortunates who have lived in the Valley for at least five years. 1 will also give a gran! of $2000 a ycai if the government will give $1000 a year nnd exempt the place from tuxes, that in if the Cily of Kelowna will take the management of the home. This is one of the best placrs in the Valley for an institution like that. There is a hcuutiful view, And the imniites can have everything that man can desire��� fruits of all kinds, vegetables, and abundance of water juat at the door. It has a quarter mile frontage, and a clear air climate and abundance of wood for manv years to come. It is only two miles by water from the C.P.R. wharf, and one mile from the city limits���about ten mtnules drive from the city. It is just the place for the poor old folks���a quiet and pretty spot. Yours truly, REMBLER PAUL. Discuss Location of Proposed Exhibition Building The meeting .'ailed by the A. and T. Association on Saturday last for the purpose of debating the question of where the new exhibition building should be placed, failed lo arouse the interest which might have been expected. There was a very small attendance and although the matter was discussed warmly enough by those present, the situation remains practically where it was. The meeting was at first inclined to favor selling the old grounds and building in the Park, and Mr. T. W. Stirling proposed a resolution that this be done. Mr. T. G. Speer and Mr. F. R. E. DeHart spoke strongly against the resolution, while Mr. F. S, Coates advocated a waiting policy. An amendment to build on the present grounds was afterwards put by Mr. Pridham. By this time, however, most of those who had attended the meeting had drifted away. The amendment carried bv 6 votes to 5. It is doubtful, however, whether any action could be taken upon this vote. ing a large number of countries. The Scout idea haa sprung up spontaneously all over America. In Canadian cities the Boy Scouts are in the thousands. In the United States towns and cities are being swept by the idea. Gangs of boys are to be seen on every hand doing their best at Scout- craft, " doing a good turn every day to someone," and getting fun out ol it. Prominent business men and our leading educators ate behind the movement, and a popular organization that needs no equipment is fulling a big gap in the recreational education of the boyhood of America. Great as has Continued on pace 2 Over $100,000 is said to be the consideration of a big deal in Kelowna real estate which was closed last Saturday between the Graiid Pacific Land Co. of Winnipeg and a group of local people. This represents the climax of land movement this spring and clearly indicates the important position now held by Kelowna in B. C. development. Mr. John E. Horn, managing director, and Robert E. Price, manager of agencies, represented the purchasers and Mr. F. R. E. DeHart represented the vendois. 1 lie properties included blocks held by Messrs. DeHart, Sutherland, Elliott 6c Copeland and Nurse Porte, all in the city limits lying rorth of Bay Street. The land is to subdivided on the st modern lines into some 700 In making the sale Aid. Sutherland has reserved is house and a block of some three or four acres. The following interesting interview with Mr. Horn, shows the attention this valley is commanding in the East. When asked why Kelowna was chosen Mr. Horn said, "Our directors were impressed by the immigration pouring into B. C. and when the people of this province endorsed the Government's railway policy, they decided that this country presented splendid opportunities lor investment and our trip is the result. We have visited the towns iu the valley and believe Kelowna has the greatest future. As the terminus of the C. N. R. and the base of operations of the construction work, Kelowna will be tl"? BQjptrS of unusual activity for several years to come. By that time the natural development of the dlstrist, aided by the railway will have created an important cily and the future is assured. Your prices are lowconsidering your advantages, and we are not at all ashamed of our bargain." Mr. Horn said, when asked as lo lis company, " We are selling agents for the G. T. P. Railway and have sold a number of their to.vnsiti's. We have a very complete organization with agents in every part of Canada, and several in England and the United Stairs. Our advertising department is larte and expensive to operate, but it is through advertising that we obtain results. We will use page copy n the principal papers of the country, and 1 am taking back over one hundred photos for cuts to illustrate an elaborate booklet and other literature. We expect to sell most of this property in the E!ial and will undoubtedly be the means of interesting new industries in your city." We have instructed the surveyors to give us the most attractive ay-out possible, irrespective of cost. Although winding roar's, ke shore drives and eighty feet boulevards are expensive we are going to have them in this propel ty to insure its being Kelowna's most beautiful nnd exclusive residential district. The growth of the cily is north and it will build up solid to the foot of the mountain. Prices and certain building restrictions will make these buildings right." "Ex-mayor DeHart has agreed to act as our agent in Kelowna and will offer these lots for sale as soon as the plan is completed. Yes, we do expect to dispose of con- derable of the property in Kul- owna." Messrs. Horn and Ptice left for the coast Sunday morning. An interesting transaction in many ways as showing the rapid rise in values in the Kelowna district has just been put thiough by Messrs. Rattenbury & Williams in the sale of 65 acres of land belonging to Mr. Marshall about three miles out on the Vernon road to Mr. Geo. F. Cleveland of Quebec. The price realized was $400 per acre. Last fall Mr. Marshall purchased the property from the Pirot Bros, for $300 per acre, the latter having bought only a short time, before for less than $200. Mr, Marshall has purchased Mr. R. S. Hall's property on Pendozi street for $10,000, The Orchard City Record. Thursday, April 11 THE ORCHARD CITY RECORD Published ccery Thursday al tlie Office, KJ(iu<ii,i. B.C.

Kelowna Mission Road Question Settled al Last 1 lu' location of the badly needed new highway between Kelowna and the Mission wliich has formed the subject of many more or less heated discussions and anxious deputations, has at last been finally and it is hoped amicably settled, As had been promised by the Hon, Price Ellison upon his visit to Kelowna a couple of weeks ago, hi; paid a special visit Tuesday lor the purpose of going over the ground wilh representatives from the Kelowna Board of Trade, who have energetically advocated the road which follows the lake shore for a considerable portion of the way, not only ntiuiiiiiig ihe public access to ihe Like, but yivinu also a magnificent stretch of scenic highway which it would be difficult to surpass in the whole Valley, Engineer Hiirnye.il, of Vernon, had mapped out a road along these lines, originally suggested by Mr. M. Hereron. the road foreman, and the Board of 1 rade representatives held that not only was il the most desirable Irom an aesthetic point of view, lint it was also the shortest and cheapest to construi I, and most serviceable in every way. The Mission residents, on the other hand, desired to keep lurlher inland, so as to avoid interference wilh the privacy of those owning land on the lake front. Unfortunately ihis meant passing through a stn :< Ii of low-Ij ing slough land which presented almost insurmountable difficulties. I he 1 Ion. Prico Ellison, in accordance with his pi our-. . .hi i\ ed in Kelowna early Tuesday morning and accompanied by the Hoard of Trade committee, ^ayqr J. W. [ones, Aid, Blai kwood, and Messrs. S.T. Elliott, R.S. Hall, M. Hereron, and W. 11. Crawford, proceeded bv the "Clovelly"to ihe Mission, where at the Belle Vue 1 lotel they were met by Messrs, I lobson, Harvey, Bailey, Bell, and ('. S. Smith, who had been elected at a previous meeting to represent the Mission. At this meeting it might be mentioned a compromise had been agreed upon which brought theii projected route in agreement with Kelownas as far as Mission creek. I lere they wished lo turn inland. 1 his latter proposal, besides involving the construction difficulties mentioned meant a lengthening of the road by some 3,000 feet. 1 he party went over the ground carefully and ihe situation was thoroughly sized up by Mr. Ellison. After returning to the hotel he communicated his derision to those present, which was to the effect that he could not reasonably agree with the proposals of the Mission party, and that the road advocated by Kelowna was undoubtedly the best for both districts. Construction cm the road which has been delayed bv the unfortunate dispute will at once be proceeded with. The Hon. tin- Minister of Finance lelt latt I by car for Vernon, MONTREAL.

Boy Scouts Organized Continued from page I been the success of the Boy Scouts in England, America with its vast stretches ol territory, woods and streams, furnishes a promise for a greater, I lie aim of the Boy Scouts is to supplement the various existing educational agencies, nnd to promote ihe ability in boys to do things for themselves and other). 1 he method is summed up iu ihe term Seoul-craft and is a combination of observation, deduction and handiness or the ability to do things. Scout-craft consists of first aid, life-saving, tracking, signalling, cycling, nature study, seamanship, campcraft, woodcraft, chivalry, patriotism and other instruction.

When taking this oath the scoul will stand, holding his light hand raised level with his shoulder, palm to the front, thumb resting on the nail of ihe little finger, and the other three fingers upright. Ihis is the scout's salute and rtecret sign. When the band is raised shoulder high it is called " The Half Salute." When raised to the forehead it is " 1 be hull Salute." Ihe three fingers held up (like die ihree points of the scout's badge) remind him of his three promises in the scout's oath. The Three Classes of Scouts TENDERFOOT.

He may also be directed to cease to be a scout. 2. A scoul is loyal to his parents, his country and to all others to whom loyalty is due. 3. A scout's duty is to be useful and to help others, lie must be prepared at any time to save life or to help injured persons. And he must try bis best to do a good turn to somebody every day. 4. A scout is a friend to all and n brother to every other scout. 5. A scout is courteous. lhat is, he is polite to alj, but especially to women and children, and old people and invalids, cripples, <\c. And he must not take any rrwaid for being helpful or courteous. u. A scout is a friend to animals. He should save them as far as possible from pain, and should not kill any animal unnecessarily. 7. A scout obeys orders of his parents, scout leader or scoutmaster. This is discipline. 8. A scout smiles and whistles under all circumstances. When he gets an order he should obey it cheerfully and readily, not in a slow, hang-dog sort of a way. Scouts never grumble at hardships, nor whine at each other. 9. A scout is thrifty, thai is, he saves every penny he can and puts it into the bank, so that he may have money to keep himself when out of woi k, and thus not make himself a burden to others; or that he may have money to giveaway toothers when they need it. The Scout Master The Scout Master is the adult leader ol a tioop. A troop consists of three or more patrols. 1 he Scout Maslei master may begin with one patrol. He must have B dtep interest in boys, be genuine iu his own life, have the ability lu lead and command the boys' respect and obedience and possess some knowledge of a boy s ways. 1 le need not be an expert on scout- ciaft.

KELOWNA FURNITURE CO. " We Make Homes Happy." Royal Bank's 42nd Annual Report The forty-second annual report 1 which has just been issued by the Royal Bank is a handsome book of some ninety pages, and contains in addition to the facts and figures connected with the progress and standing of the bank, and list of shareholders, a mass of statistical information concerning the trade and commerce of Canada ; a table of import duties, etc. Included is also a large scale map of the Dominion in colors. The historical sketch of the Royal Bank from its commencement is an interesting article. Opening as a chartered bank two year's after Confederation in a small centre of the province of Nova Scotia, " the first 30 years of the Bank's history was a period of quiet financial work along lines of slow though steady progress; the ensuing decade was one of almost phenomenal progress which covered the entire Dominion and even went beyond its bounds." Between 1898 and 1911 the Bank's business showed a jump in deposits from 8 millions to 88 millions ; in discounts from 8A millions to 59A millions; in net profits from $186,000 to $1,152,000; in circulation of notes from one and one-third millions to six and one- third millions ; and in capital from $1,500,000 to $6,251,000. The Bank has at present 202 branches, 37 in B.C. C.P.R. to Operate Trains in Austria The Austrian Government has just concluded a remarkable contract with the Canadian Pacific Railway Co. which is likely to have important results upon Canada's relations with all Southeastern Europe. Being anxious to foster trade with Canada and also encourage transatlantic travel to Tyrol and other newly-opened districts which are becoming the fashionable tourist playground of Europe, the Austrian government selected the Canadian Pacific in preference to American railroads to run observ- tion cars of the well-known Canadian Pacific design on the Austrian state railways and also In part of Switzerland. The cars are now being constructed at Nesseldorl, Austria, from Canadian Pacific designs which have been so much admired that a new car is also being built for the Austrian minister on Canadian principles. Half of the cars will be manned by the Emperor Franz Josef and the other half by the Canadian Pacific. One hundred and twenty-four Methodist Congregations have completed their vote on church union, and the official count shows 21,114 for union and 2606 against. Thus 66 per cent of the total vote is in favor of union. The vote received within the last day or two shows that many of the Methodist boards voted unanimously for union. The Canadian Pacific Railway freight department has decided to reduce rates from Toronto to Winnipeg and points west of that. The new rates went into effect April 6th and will mean a reduction from 2 to 8 cents per hundred pounds. The figures affecting British Columbia are given as follows: From class one to class eight and ten, reductions are made. No change is made in class nine. It is believed that the sale of liquor will be prohibited within the next five years in Denmark, where teetotalism is becoming general. The shad fishery of the Maritime Provinces is dwindling away to very small proportions. Some idea of the falling off in catch may be had when it is stated that the quantity caught has declined from 10,036 barrels in 1903 to 5,242 barrels in 1910. The eastern slope of the Rocky Mountains is rich in minerals. The Geological Survey of Canada estimate that 22,200,000,000 tons of coal may be mined from that region. Anthracite coal is now being mined near Banff, on the eastern slope. A codfish weighing 30 lbs. was being prepared for dinner at the police barracks, Queenstown, near Cork, when the cook discovered inside it a purse containing silver. Mr. A. S. Goodeve, M. P. for the Kootenay district has been appointed to fill the vacancy on the Railway Commission. Mr. Goodeve will shortlv resign his seat to take up his new duties, but it is doubtful if the by-election in Kootenay will take place immediately. Ancient Indian Remains While excavating for the new government wagon road about half a mile east of Grand Forks, an old Indian grave was uncovered by the workmen last week. Part of the skeleton was still in an excellent state of preservation. In the grave was also found flint spearheads some five inches in length and well shaped, bone fishing hook, bone needle for sewing, a rib of some animal some twenty inches long, two inches in width at the widest part and nearly an inch in thickness. This latter had evidently been used as an Indian club one end of which was engraved with the head of an Indian and had a hole through it for the purpose of fastening it with cord or a piece of buckskin to the wrist. General Booth, the veteran head of the Salvation Army was eighty- three years of age yesterday. There is a well defined report in railway circles that the C. P, R. is preparing to put another through hne over the mountains, building west from Red Deer, Alta., to Kamloops. Chief of Provincial Police Routh has resigned his position, and has been replaced by Chief Fraser of Kamloops. In order to assure the non-interruption of telegraph service by the earring away of wires by slides, the C. P. R. is laying a land emergency cable through its British Columbia section. The G. T P. Ry. has announced a reduction of the freight rate from Edmonton to Fort George of from seven to three cents per pound. Rev. George Pringle has been inducted into the pastoral charge of Knox Presbyterian church, East Collingwood. Don't be surprised if you have an attack of rheumatism this spring.

Mr. Ritchie intends to build at once upon his property in Glenmore, and will move into temporary quarters here at once. Mr. and Mrs. Drysdale and their niece, Miss Edna Procter, were amongst the arrivals last week. They intend to take up their residence in Glenmore in a short time. Mr. C. C. Prowse and family have moved out to their ranch in Glenmore. Mr. Prowse is busy improving the property. Mr. and Mrs. C. A. Whitham and and their son from Montreal who purchased last year in Glenmore are herd and planning to build at once. Mr. C. E. Atkin is decidedly enthusiastic about the prospects of our district. He has been travelling around the province lately investigating various fruit districts including Vancouver and Victoria, but finally decided to locate here. His family are expected to arrive in the course of a few days. Mi. and Mrs. A. Brown and family are the latest arrivals from Montreal. Mi. Brown has purchased some land and intends mak- Iiis home here. Mr. A. Dawson is moving out of H. H. MacLeay's cottage this week on to his own place. Planting operations are now in full swing. The company has some twenty-four teams at work and over one hundred men. Two car loads of nursery stock arrived recently and no time is being lost in getting them into the ground. Besides its own large orchard, the company is planting for a large number of purchasers of properly. Over 70,000 trees are to be planted this year. Okanagan Mission (From our own correspondent) East Kelowna News (From our own correspondent) Mr. D. M. Anderson has wisely invested in a team. Hopes are entertained of a good peach crop up here this year if all goes well. We were glad to see a grader on the grade last week-���" Better late than never." Mr. Priestley's house on the benches is nearly finished. We understand that it is in ihe hands of Mr. J. A. Bigger, of Kelowna. Mr. Priestley is the gentleman who bought a piece of Mr. Geo. Allen's lower bench land, and is the latest arrival on the bench. " My little son had a very aevere cold. 1 was recommended to try Chamberlain'a Cough Remedy, and before a email bottle was finished, he was aa well as ever," writes Mra. H.

This meeting had been adjourned since July 1911, to-enable the secretary to prepare and bring forward a financial statement. There were about eighteen present Mr. J. H. Golightly was voted to the chair, and called on the secretary for the financial report. As this had not been submitted to audit, the meeting adjourned for half an hour, while Mr. Thorneloe assisted the secretary to get out some sort of a financial statement. This was duly done and passed by the meeting. It was then necessary to elect a new board of Trustees, as the old members, Messrs. Baillie, W. D. Walker and Sweeney all resigned. In their places were elected respectively Messrs G. C. R. Harvey, Fordham and Hill. The meeting then proceeded to discuss the outgoing trustees' report, which included a report (verbal) from the government inspector. This was to the effect that the school needed new appliances, fences and general repairs, and also that the school-master's salary should be raised to $80 per month. A motion was made to adopt this report, but the meeting appeared unwilling to pass it in its entirety, and finally decided that an estimate should be made of the necessary repairs and alterations, and that the question of increase of salary should stand over far the present. The minutes were then read and confirmed and signed by the chairman. Alterations and enlargements are being made to the C. P. R. wharf, the height being adjusted so as to allow boats coming in to make fast level wilh the deck nt any state of the water. This should be a great improvement, as the present wharf has been very unsatisfactory. As a result of investigations undertaken by the Commission of Conservation, it has been ascertained that there are 1,016,521 horse-power developed from water power in Canada. "What made you so late ? " " I met Smithson." " Well, that is no reason why you should be an hour late getting home to supper." " I know, but I asked him how he was feeling, and he insisted on telling me about his stomach trouble." " Did you tell him to take Chamberlain'a Tablets ? " . "Sure, that is what he needs."'

Briefly it may be summed up as a high-class educational picture, dealing with the operation and manceuvering of a submarine war vessel. The value of such pictures can not be over-estimated and no one should miss this opportunity to see this picture which is a marvel of its class. There has been woven around these naval manceuvers a story of heart interest that will keep it from being a mere dry educational picture to those who prefer human interest in the pictures.
